Internet browsers cause my laptop to crash.

Doesn't matter which browser I use. It's very strange. It only happens when a website is loading. So I'll be trying to open a new tab, say gamespot.com, and while the page is loading, other tabs will pop up with completely gibberish URLs, sometimes 2 or 3 of them open. Sometimes one opens up and causes my computer to blue screen and crash. Sometimes I can go a whole day without it happening, other times it happens multiple times in an hour. It's really frustrating.

I have ran multiple virus scans and also ran diagnostic scans and have dealt with my virus protection's support team and they insist I don't have a virus. What else could this be? My only other recent activity has been installing the games Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and Diablo 2 with the LOD expansion + patch. I uninstalled both of them and removed all associated files and this still happens. Any ideas?
